Version 1.29.1 – Three bug fixes

Version 1.29.1 is a quick release with three bug fixes. One fix is an attempt to fix the regular crashes as reported by a user.

Display of MacYTDL dialogs is now always forced. This might help reduce crashes for some users.
Should no longer crash cause when trying to download in parallel a YouTube playlist which requires a login. Option to download in such cases has been removed.
The iView Australia chooser layout has been improved for users on lo-res screens. It’s still a work-in-progress.
